All of these were datamined, with 6 recolors.

None of these are available in game, except the last 1h sword, which exists only as blue version, other 5 unavailable.

Is this going to end up like Allied Races weapons, never to be added and forgotten?

Utterly incompetent. Transmogs are big part of gameplay, and not adding best looking weapons you created is just dumb.

Good catch, and I noticed this, too, because I haven’t seen a good, dark one handed weapon in a long time.

Perhaps they’re going to be challenge appearances? Yeah, I don’t know. When cosmetics are literally the ONLY permanent rewards for playing (abilities are pruned, levels are squished, and gear is obsolete in 6 months these days), it’s pretty silly to limit trasmogs.

Those could’ve been enemy npc weapons… But those being exclusively for enemy npc only makes me a little sad.

Yeah, transmogs are my sole reason for playing, and this patch just disappointed me greatly.

Might check out 9.2 if it has something of value in that department.

Might just show up later down the campaign. Dunno

Thought the same with dark iron dwarf ones datamined, never got into the game. I guess they just discard some or keep for later, whenever later might be. If later is 9.2, I’ll be back then.

Same with some of the datamined zone themed ones, I’m still waiting on:

Also wouldn’t mind the helm from the Gorm themed set made obtainable if nothing else.

The NPCs have those^.

Blizz does this all the time; there’s still really cool alliance NPC exclusive armor you can’t get for absolutely no reason. They had warglaives since day one, too, but only in TBC could you get your hands on even a version of them.

It’d be nice if we got them in 9.2 at least, we do somewhat become part of the covenants to a degree in 9.1.

Most of these are npc weapons. Maybe we’ll see them in the future as boss drops

Doesn’t really do much for me as transmog collector.

They picked most mediocre options and kept best ones for npcs? Oh well, better luck with 9.2.

Sound like the Steward Hammer. They added all the color of the hammer got the model but its the only gold weapon version Not usuable for player that is gold from kyrian for some reason. Why bother make a model give gold to everyone except for this specific one

lol wow…

Often items are datamined but are not implemented within gameplay until future versions of the game.

Thank you dear.

Yeah the flail had lot of hype behind it, shame.

Why though? Without these 9.1 is barren of transmogs.
They already reused legendaries as the only new armor in 9.1, do you mean to tell me this is 9.2 content?
But most of all, there’s always the option of it never coming into game, like some allied races datamined weapons.

I want a 2H flail so bad.

Yoo, that’d be something like brewmaster artifact.

Like resting on your shoulder with flail against your back.

I wouldn’t go that far, there’s the new Covenant sets and the Maw-themed back pieces are pretty neat.

Oh yeah and I guess all the Torghast shoulders too, though those aren’t really my style.

I do want that flail though.
